The AFC Playoffs Divisional Round continues Sunday when the Baltimore Ravens meet the Buffalo Bills for the right to play in the AFC Championship Game.
Sunday’s contest features the top two NFL MVP candidates, and my Ravens vs. Bills anytime touchdown picks expect Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen to find paydirt.
Read on for my AFC Divisional Round NFL picks for Sunday, January 19.

The forecast in Orchard Park calls for a bit of snow and frigid temps with some gusty breezes.
Those blustery conditions are one in which dual-threat quarterbacks like Baltimore Ravens signal-caller Lamar Jackson flourish.
Flourish is what I expect from the NFL MVP candidate.
Jackson scampered for four touchdowns during the regular season but didn’t need to find the end zone in the Ravens 28-14 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Wild Card Game.
Sunday will likely require Jackson to do more than he did against Pittsburgh. The Buffalo Bills offense can score the football, and the sometimes gusty winds expected in Buffalo will likely force Jackson to tuck the ball and run.
Jackson has scored three rushing touchdowns across his last five playoff games, and I like him to score at least one touchdown on Sunday.

Bills anytime touchdown pick
Josh Allen anytime touchdown
+110 at BetMGM
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was built for this type of weather.
The former Wyoming Cowboy has played in extreme elements throughout his collegiate and professional career, and Sunday's possible frigid temps and sometimes gusty winds won’t bother Allen one bit.
The NFL MVP frontrunner has scored a dozen rushing touchdowns this season and has scored at least one touchdown in seven of his last 10.
Allen loves to show up in postseason games — he’s scampered for five trips to paydirt in 11 career playoff games, and he’s going to do his darndest to lead the Bills to its second AFC Championship clash since 2021.
That means using his legs, and I believe he’ll cross the goal line at least once on Sunday.
